The barbecue restaurant on Alabama Highway 20, one of two named "Greenbrier" in the area, had moderate damage to the kitchen and smoke damage throughout and will likely be closed for a few days.

The eatery is in a Huntsville-annexed portion of Limestone County. Firefighters from the City of Huntsville and two volunteer departments in Limestone County responded to the blaze at about 9:15 p.m., according to WHNT. The fire was confined to a vent hood and ceiling in the kitchen.

Employees were in the building but no one was injured.
